Hahaha. I knew someone was going to suggest that, Marty. I'm not saying I won't start kegging ever but currently I just don't feel the need for it. Maybe suggest it to me again next week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the exterior of my acquisition. I'm off to get some paint shortly. I did some work a while ago and a colourbond shed had a coat of Ferric Chloride sprayed all over it - had a similar colour - but mate I think you will be just fine! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First press of the trigger on the can and the whole trigger and it's neck snapped away from the can. Next thing I know I've a paint bomb going off on me like one of those flea and roach bombs. F####ng paint everywhere. Meanwhile I'm desperately trying to apply it without any control of the flow. I've got bubbles all over the fridge, paint all over me. Looks like I've got Ebola or something. Take it back to Bunnings and request that they insert it into the most appropriate... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate. First i removed the 3.2 million 15 year old stickers that were on it with a scraper then lightly sanded it all back with 100 grit, then gave it a good soapy wash and then gave it 3 coats of blackboard paint. Pretty simple really. Edited December 20, 2019 by Hoppy81 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malter White Posted December 22, 2019 Author Share Posted December 22, 2019 I was holding off turning the ferment fridge on until the Inkbird had arrived. Our lovely courier lady just delivered it. I turned on the fridge, it made operational sounds. I can feel cold coming from the fridge elements (if that's what they're called). I think it works. I haven't been this excited since I got my first Fleshlight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
